 Policies for IPv6 Deployment
→ 6 May, 2008, the Minister of Information and
Communications has issued directives No. 03/2008/CT-
BTTTT on the promotion of IPv6 address.
– Assigned to the management units and ISPs three basic
tasks: to propagate and disseminate awareness about
the importance of using IPv6; quickly deploy, use and
provide services based on IPv6 and strengthen
research and training activities on IPv6.
– A milestone in the process IPv6 deployment in
Vietnam.
 Policies for IPv6 Deployment
→ 6 January, 2009, the Minister of Information and
Communications has issued Decision No. 05/QD-BTTTT
establishment Vietnam National IPv6 Task Force with the
task of research, plans and schedule for implementing the
transition of IPv4 to IPv6 in Vietnam.
→ 29 March, 2011, Minister of Information and
Communication has issued Vietnam National action plan
on IPv6 which determine the objectives, specific roadmap
for transition to IPv6 in Vietnam.
 Vietnam National IPv6 TaskForce

→History and structure

– Was formed in January, 2009 to take the task of research, plans
and schedule for implementing the transition of IPv4 to IPv6 in
Vietnam.
– The leader: Mr Le Nam Thang - Vice Minister of MIC.
– Board of member: VNNIC, CEO of all ISP
– Working group: NOC Manager, Engineers from ISP
 Vietnam National IPv6 TaskForce

→ Promoting Activities and results

– Submit the National action plan on IPv6
– Setup National IPv6 network
– Deploy IPv6 in critical networks: national DNS system and VNIX
– Provide training on V6
 Vietnam National IPv6 Action Plan

→ Stage 1: Preparation (2011 – 2012):

– Make the assessment of the network; forming the national IPv6
test network; implementation of IPv6 test and performed
extensive training of human resources
– Vietnamese ISPs shall issue their own IPv6 action plan, follow on
National plan on IPv6.
 Vietnam National IPv6 Action Plan

→ Stage 2: Implementation (2013 – 2015):

– Trasition from IPv4 networks to simultaneously support IPv4 and
IPv6; forming national IPv6 network infrastructure; and provide
testing IPv6 services to end users.
→ Stage 3: Accomplishment (2016 - to 2019):
– Ensure the stable operation of Internet in Vietnam with IPv6-
based technology.

 Vietnamese ISPs with IPv6

– Vietnamese ISPs play crucial role in the national transition

to IPv6
– Most of large ISPs has registered IPv6 address blocks .
– Almost all large ISP in Vietnam has issued their own IPv6
Action plan that conform with the National plan.
 Vietnamese ISPs with IPv6

– Still lack of fully awareness about V6.

– No any ISP to provide commercial service on V6.
– Just some report on ADSL and 3G testing services by some
largest ISP’s.
 Conclusion

– Vietnam got some first result in deploying IPv6 but it just

still be in the initial step.
– There is a big gap for Vietnam to catch up with the current
international trend.
– Vietnamese communities (ISPs, government, vendor, end
user… ) need improve awareness about deploying IPv6 to
narrow the gap.
– Vietnam IPv6 Task force will play a key role on the way to
V6 in Vietnam.
